As a site dedicated to covering online sportsbooks and betting apps, our primary emphasis will be on DraftKings Predictions' sports-related markets. We'll evaluate how they stack up against traditional sportsbooks, other prediction market platforms, and pick'em-style fantasy apps.

To get started, let's break down what DraftKings Predictions offers and cover the fundamentals of how the platform operates.

At first glance, the app experience will feel familiar to sportsbook users. Users can still browse markets, choose a side, and enter a position. The difference lies in how pricing works: Instead of odds being posted and adjusted by bookmakers, contract prices fluctuate based on user demand. When interest is split evenly between two outcomes, pricing tends to hover near the midpoint. As more participants buy into one side of a market, its price increases while the opposing side becomes cheaper.

Another distinction is structural: In prediction markets, users trade contracts tied to specific outcomes rather than placing wagers against the house. Pricing is shaped collectively by market participants, creating a peer-driven environment that differs from the traditional sportsbook model and offers a new way to engage with sports and other events.

Prediction markets have been gaining popularity in the US in recent years, mostly because the federal government has been collaborating with the CFTC to keep them legal across the country. Today, the most popular prediction market app that includes sports markets is Kalshi.

Broadly, prediction markets allow you to trade on anything from the weather to commodities, political elections, awards shows and more as if they were stocks. While there is tremendous freedom that comes with prediction markets, having the ability to wager money on wars and the ousting of political leaders has arguably created ethical concerns with prediction markets.

For our purposes here at Sportsbooks Online, though, we do view prediction markets as legitimate sports betting platforms. In fact, we'd argue that prediction markets should only be used for things like sports betting, as they create a more free and fair way to wager money on sports outcomes without being subject to Vegas odds or vig payments. It's through that lens that we'll review FanDuel Predicts on this page, breaking down the same elements with which we review sportsbooks. Let's start by discussing their mobile app, its functionality and look along with some user reviews.

One of our favorite aspects of the DraftKings Predictions app is its design. While companies like FanDuel and Fanatics developed prediction market apps with the same color schemes and designs as their other gaming apps, DraftKings Predictions opted to adjust the color scheme and logo design to differentiate it from its sportsbook, Pick6 and more.

Aside from the look and feel, the functionality of the DraftKings Predictions app meets industry expectations. Some betting apps suffer from long load times, lags and glitches — not DraftKings Predictions. Pages load quickly, buttons are responsive, and the overall design is highly intuitive.

But don't just take our word for it — here are a handful of real user reviews of the DraftKings Prediction app:

One positive feature of DraftKings Predictions' betting features is that they offer a wide array of options for game spreads and totals to trade on. That allows bettors to choose a spread or total of their choice and trade on it as opposed to having only one option. 

Overall, DraftKings Predictions doesn't present users with enough sports betting options to warrant being used over a sportsbook or DFS platform. In our view, the biggest reason why someone would want to use DraftKings Predictions over a better sports betting app is the lack of a "house." This means bettors can make their picks against other bettors as opposed to the sportsbook, eliminating the small percentage of their money that goes to the house. Prediction markets also arguably have more accurate odds than sportsbooks because odds are set by the entire public as opposed to an algorithm.
